    What Is the Program Management Professional Credential?Your Route to Senior Programme Leadership

    The Program Management Professional (PgMP) is PMI's senior credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as a coordinated programme to deliver strategic organisational benefits. PgMP certification training in London prepares experienced programme managers to earn this globally recognised designation, held by fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide, and to lead confidently at the programme level. The programme is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the PgMP Examination Content Outline. It covers all five performance domains, Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, and prepares you for the 170-question, four-hour exam and the multi-rater panel review that set the credential apart. London's banks, consultancies and transformation-heavy enterprises increasingly separate certified programme leaders from the rest. Start your PgMP journey with Invensis Learning and turn hard-won delivery experience into a credential that senior employers recognise across sectors and regions.

    How to Get PgMP Certified in LondonStep-by-Step Certification Process

    The path to Online PgMP certification is designed for experienced program leaders managing multiple related projects aligned to strategic business objectives. The certification process includes eligibility verification, PMI application review, peer-panel assessment, and the final certification examination.

    Step 1: Confirm PgMP Eligibility

    Verify you meet one of the three eligibility sets (Set A / Set B / Set C) , secondary diploma OR bachelor's degree OR GAC-accredited bachelor's, plus 48/48/36 months of project management (or PMP) experience plus 84/48/36 months of program management experience within the past 15 years.

    Step 2: Enrol in PgMP Training

    Choose your preferred Invensis Learning PgMP cohort (3-Day Live Online Bootcamp, E-Learning, or Corporate Group Training). On enrolment you receive PMI-aligned PgMP courseware, panel-submission templates, scenario mock-exam material, and the 24 contact hours you need for your PMI application.

    Step 3: Document Program Management Experience for Panel Review

    Compile your program management experience submission to PMI's evaluation standard: programs led, components managed, governance forums chaired, benefits delivered. Invensis Learning's submission templates and reviewer feedback help you avoid the common rejection patterns PMI flags.

    Step 4: Submit the PgMP Application to PMI

    Submit your application via the PMI candidate portal. PMI performs an initial review, then forwards the experience submission to the peer panel for evaluation. The panel-review window typically runs 60-90 days. Pay the PgMP application/exam fee: ~$800 (PMI member) or ~$1,000 (non-member).

    Step 5: Sit the 170-Question PgMP Exam via Pearson VUE

    After panel approval you receive a one-year exam eligibility window. Book your PgMP exam through Pearson VUE , online proctored from your home or office in London, or at a Pearson VUE test centre. The exam is 170 scenario-based multiple-choice questions over 240 minutes.

    Step 6: Earn the PgMP Credential and Plan CCR Renewal

    On passing, PMI issues your PgMP digital badge and certificate. The credential is valid for three years; renew via PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) programme by earning 60 PDUs across the 3-year cycle in program-relevant content.

    General

    What is the PgMP certification and who is it for?

    PgMP is PMI's senior credential for professionals who manage multiple related projects as a coordinated programme to deliver strategic organisational benefits. It is designed for senior programme managers, PMO leaders, directors of delivery and PMP holders stepping up. Fewer than 3,000 practitioners worldwide hold it, making it one of PMI's most exclusive certifications.

    Is the PgMP worth it for programme leaders in London?

    Yes. In London, PgMP maps directly to senior roles such as Programme Director, Head of PMO and Portfolio Director, where salaries range from around £85,000 to £175,000. Banks, consultancies and transformation-heavy enterprises increasingly prefer certified programme leaders, so the credential strengthens both earning potential and career mobility.

    Is the PgMP recognised in London?

    Yes. PgMP is a globally recognised PMI credential valued by employers across London and worldwide, including banks, insurers, consultancies, government bodies and infrastructure organisations that run large, strategy-critical programmes. As a PMI credential it carries the same recognition as the PMP across more than 200 countries.

    Is PMP required before taking the PgMP?

    No. PMP certification is not a mandatory prerequisite for PgMP. However, an active PMP satisfies the project management experience requirement across all three eligibility sets, so PMP holders only need to document their programme management experience hours.

    How long is the PgMP valid and how is it renewed?

    PgMP is valid for three years. To maintain it, you earn 60 PDUs across the PMI Talent Triangle, with at least 8 PDUs in each of Ways of Working, Power Skills and Business Acumen, within the three-year continuing certification requirements cycle.

    Pricing

    What is included in the PgMP course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, downloadable templates, application and panel-review support, learner support, and a course completion certificate with contact hours. The PMI exam fee is billed separately. Request a quote to see what is included in your chosen format.

    How much does PgMP training cost in London?

    Instructor-led PgMP training in London is priced by format and cohort, and exact fees are available on request. Corporate and group rates differ from individual enrolment. Talk to a learning advisor for current London schedules and a tailored quote.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the PgMP exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, for reference around USD 800 for PMI members and USD 1,000 for non-members. Verify current fees at pmi.org, as PMI periodically updates pricing. Membership can reduce both the exam fee and renewal costs.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts for PgMP training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, transformation offices and leadership teams in London and beyond. Contact us for a tailored quote for your team.

    What payment methods and instalment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, and offer instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What happens if I do not pass the PgMP exam first time?

    You have up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility period from application approval. Our training includes practice questions, mock exams and revision support to build readiness, and PMI charges a reexamination fee for the second and third attempts, which you can confirm on the PMI store.

    What is the format of the PgMP exam?

    The PgMP exam is closed book with 170 multiple-choice questions and a four-hour allotted time. It is delivered via Pearson VUE OnVUE online proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre, and is based on the PgMP Examination Content Outline and the Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition.

    What is the PgMP panel review?

    The panel review is a multi-rater assessment unique to PgMP. A panel of programme management practitioners evaluates your documented programme management experience and competency. It is mandatory in addition to the written exam, and both must be passed to earn the credential.

    What are the PgMP exam domains and their weights?

    The exam covers five performance domains: Strategic Program Management (11%), Program Life Cycle Management (44%), Benefits Management (11%), Stakeholder Engagement (16%) and Governance (18%). Program Life Cycle Management is by far the largest, so plan your preparation accordingly.

    Where can I take the PgMP exam?

    You can sit the exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctored system from home or office, or at a Pearson VUE test centre in London or elsewhere. Scheduling is done through Pearson VUE or the PMI portal within your one-year eligibility window.

    What is the passing score for the PgMP exam?

    PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback of Above Target, Target, Below Target or Needs Improvement, so aim for broad mastery across all five domains.

    Course Content

    Do I need prior experience to take this PgMP training?

    The training is built for experienced practitioners, since PgMP itself requires substantial programme management experience. You do not need to hold PMP to enrol, but to sit the exam PMI requires documented project and programme management experience. Our advisors can help you check eligibility before you commit.

    What topics are covered in the PgMP training?

    The training covers the five PgMP performance domains: Strategic Program Management, Program Life Cycle Management, Benefits Management, Stakeholder Engagement and Governance, plus PMI application guidance, panel-review preparation and exam strategy, all aligned to the Standard for Program Management 4th Edition.

    What learning resources and materials are provided?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, references to the PgMP Examination Content Outline and Handbook, an overview of the fourth edition of the Standard for Program Management, programme templates, flashcards and topic-wise quizzes to support your revision.

    Are mock exams and practice questions included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams mapped to the PgMP Examination Content Outline, plus topic-wise quizzes to help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness for the 170-question paper.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest PgMP standard?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to PMI's Standard for Program Management, Fourth Edition, and the current PgMP Examination Content Outline, so what you study reflects the standard the exam is built on.
